Counselor-in-Training Program

7th-9th GRADE

The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program enables your seventh-through-ninth-grader to participate in Camp Invention in a whole new way. It’s still a week of creativity and hands on fun, but now there is leadership training and goal-setting skills built in.

“Every year I am in awe of the growth that happens for the Counselor-in-Training students. They often start the week unsure of what being a mentor involves. Through coaching and training, they develop skills to ask questions and provide positive support for all the students in the camp.”

– Jill M.
